We draft and sign big, plodding LBs who are slow and powerful and can't cover a TE. Even guys that we've drafted like Vigil who were smaller have had bad 40 times.

It's time to get smaller guys who can run and cover. That's the way the league is going. Maybe even play a Safety at LB who can run and cover.

In free agency, we need to target guys like Denzel Perryman, Kwon Alexander, Deone Buchanon (who was a safety).

No more big and slow guys.

Not sure why this is posted now when we've all been preaching this for the past 5-10 years.
